OT Rocky Mtn Airshow
Went to Broomfield yesterday so see the other kind of birds! Man it was hot, around 99F all day.

More here.

The best of your series, although I really like the pilot kicking back on that jet wing!
It takes some skill to photograph those birds in flight.

The juxtapositioning of the vertical jet contrail with the horizontal/diagonal upward sweep of the smoke does it for me here. This wouldn't have been nearly as effective against a bluebird sky.

Way to go, Bill!

Paul, the red white and blue flag is actually purple, green and yellow! :-) Joke!

I just got around to looking at my Sunday Denver Post (the only edition we outcasts receive anymore :mad: ), when I saw a photo of a pilot kicking back on the wing of the jet.
Same subject?
